lent 27 - darkness trembles?

I was in church yesterday singing a song with the words ' Jesus, you make the darkness tremble'  when all of a sudden, almost rudely, He interrupted and said ' No I don't'.  Which made me stop singing and have a think.  And then come home and do a bit of research.

First off I looked into the word ' tremble' and of the 40 Bible verses which came up on my search none of them had anything to do with darkness.  People tremble, and the earth trembles.  People tremble in fear of judgement and in awe of the person and majesty of God.  The earth trembles in His presence ( my understanding being that this is a description of natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes and storms and also a metaphor for the might of God)

Then I looked up 'darkness' and there were hundreds of verses to trawl through.  But it became evident that God made darkness and uses it for His purposes.

Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day Darkness and light are alike to You. Psalm 139:12

God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all.  So darkness is something other than God.  Physical darkness is something God made to give us night and day.   Metaphorical darkness symbolises the presence of the enemy.   And I think the songwriter intends us to understand that Jesus puts fear into the heart of the enemy.  But is that good theology?   Just thinking out loud here, because I've never considered this before, but what I felt Jesus saying to me in worship was almost a derisory snort.   Jesus doesn't make darkness tremble - He shatters and destroys darkness.  He obliterates it. He is light and where He is, darkness has to flee.  It doesn't just shake a bit and bite its fingernails with some anxiety.  The presence of Jesus is dynamite - an atomic bomb - a nuclear meltdown obliterating everything that stands in His way.   His atonement on the cross ripped the heart out of the brief blip in time which saw the dominion of Satan established on the earth.  The light and grace and mercy which poured out of the empty tomb was like a mighty ocean compared with the single drop of sin which it consumed 

 15 But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man's falling away (his lapse, his offence), much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favour of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many. Romans 5:15
